Lincoln on 0uarreline.

The Century Magazine prints for the
first time the words of Abraham
Lincoln, given in an official reprimand
to a young officer who had been court
martialed for quarreling: 1.-The ad-
vice of a father to his son, Beware of
entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
bear it that the opposed may beware of
thee! is good, but not the best.
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved
to make the most of himself can spare
time for personal contention. Still less
can he afford to take all the con-
sequences, including the. vitating of his
temper and the loss of self control.
Yield larger things to which you can
show no more than equal right, and
yield lesser ones, though clearly your
own. Better give your path to a dog
than be bitten by him in contrasting for
the right. Even killing the dog
would not cure the bite.

Result of an Anglo-American Match.

The Result of an Anglo-American Match.
When pretty Miss W-married a
handsome Englishman some years ago
she did so without the hearty approval
of her father. The stern parent did
the handsome thing by her, however,
and furnished $40, 900 year for the
happy couple to live On. Since their
marriage they have resided chiefly
abroad, though the last winter Mrs. r
has been a conspicuous feature in
social circles. About six weeks ago
Mr.. R-came over from England,
bringing two of the children with him;
but much to every ones surprise he
returned by the same steamer. Re-
port says that the separation is final,
and that MI. R.-received from his
father-ir-aw $4,000 a year to leave his
wife unmolested. The gentry of
England appear to have fallen in price.
Indeed though Mr.. R+belongs to a
good English family, his position in
London has not been the best. Several
of the clubs are shut against him. and
some d~isagreeable hints are whispered
about, connecting his name with irreg-
ularities at cards and other eccentrici-
ties not condoned in polite society.

A Life Made Miserable.

By dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living.
A capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzling
nervous symptoms, increased action Of the
heart after eating, sinking in the abdomen
between meals, and fatu]ence after, are
among the successive indlcia of this har-
raising complaint. Two things only are
needful for it's removal. A resort to
Hos1eLter's Stomach Bitters, and persistence
it its nse. These remedial measures being
adopted, a cure is certain. Taking i'm
1nedlateiy before or after meals, this great
stomachic promotes secretion OF the gastric
juice, the natural solvent of the food. The
nervous and bilious symptoms consequent
upon chronic indigestion disappear, as the
complaint gradually yields to the corrective
and lnvigorating influence Of the Bitters.
Appetite returns, sleep becomes more re-
freshing, and as a sequence, the body is
efficiently nourished, muscular power in
creases, and the mind g~rowssanguine. Use
the Bitters for chi:ls and fever, and rheu-
natism.

Always be Prompt,

Half the value of anything to be done
consists in doing it promptly.
And yet a large class of persons are
always more u less unpunctual and
late. Their work is always in advance
of them, and so it is with their APP
pointments and engagements.
They are late, very likely, in rising
in the morning and also in going to
bed at night; late. at their meals; late at
the counting-house or office; late at
their appointments with others.
Their letters are sent to the post-of-
fee just as the mail is closed. They al
rive at tie wharf just as the steamboat
is leaving it., They come into the sta
ton just as the train is going out.
They do not entirely forget or omit
the engagement of duty, but they are
always behind time, and so generally
in haste, or rather in a hurry. as if
they had been born q little too late, and
forever were trying to catch up with
the lost time.
They waste time for themselves and
waste it for others, and fail of the COM
fort and influence and success which
they might have found in systematic
and habitual punctuality.
A good old lady who was asked why
she was so early in her seat in the
church, is said to have replied that it
was her religion not to disturb the re-
ligion of others.
And if it were with all q part, both
Of courtesy and duty, not to say of re-
ligion, W to be unpunctual. they

A Fountain of Naphtha.

The Town of Baku, in Russia, re,
Gently experienced a visitation which
threatened at one time its complete
destruction. This was nothing less
than an outburst of a natural fountain
OF naphtha, followed by q volcanic
eruption from Lox Botan, about ten
miles distant. The St, Petersburg cor
respondent of the London Times des-
cribes the event under date of Feb. Z
as follows: Quite suddenly, at II
O'Clock at night, the noise of an en-
plosion was heard, and the summit of
LoN Botan shot up an enormus column
of fire some $50 feet high. The whole
country was instantly lit up brighter
than day, and the heat could be felt
at nearly a mile from the crater.
There was scarcely any wind, so that
the column continued to ascend quite
vertically, carrying with it, as could
be seen, large dark substances, which
appeared to fall again into the volcano.
This lasted, with short intervals of
subsistence, all through the night and
the following t~wenty-four hours, but
luckily the matter elected did not
reach the railway station" 1t is
estimated that the amount of matter
elected amounts to 5000, 900 cubic
feet, as it had at that time covered a
surface of more than 4 square milo to a
depth of from seven to fourteen feet.

zen. Scott and the Orderly.

Gen Winfield Scott while he was still
at the head of the army, was coming
out Of his office one day to enter his
carriage, cane in hand. A volunteer
orderly approached him with a letter
which he had been directed to deliver
to Gen Scott at once. The orderly,
rocking nothing Of Adjutant- Generals or
Chiefs of staff, interpreted his order
literally, and, hastily giving a careless
salute began: 20, General, here's Il
a paper want you to look at before
you-" For moment the old Com
Chief seemed petrified. Then,
raising his cane, he said in "a
loud, clear voice: "'Clear out,
sir, clear out Of the way" The
startled orderly sprang to one side,
and the General got into his carriage
and was driven away. The soldier
then delivered his letter to some one in
the office, and walked slowly out. Gen.
SCOTS carriage had not gone thirty
rods before it stopped and turned
about. The driver, raising his voice.,
summoned the offending orderly to the
door: Trembling in every limb, cap in
hand, he approached. Gen. Scott
asked his name and regiment. He
gave them. "Well sir said the General,
.'report to your Colonel that You were
guilty Of gross disrespect to Gen. Scott
